To create an environment that facilitates the censorship of varying opinions is the opposite of what the organization is charged with by its members.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">I was once part of the Center&#8217;s staff. I know many current ABA staff members personally. This is a situation that forces these servants of the profession to defend their existence and livelihoods because they are encouraging debate. I will defend my friends.

A Center for Innovation that can\u2019t honestly discuss innovation in a profession that desperately needs it. Disgusting. And the truth is innovation is good for attys.
